Retiring to Big Bucks

Former Senator John Breaux (D-LA) is joining Washington's largest lobbying firm -- Patton Boggs. Mr Breaux represented Louisianna in the House and Senate for a total of 32 years. Retired Congressmen have an advantage as lobbyists -- not only in knowing most of the people who's arms they'll twist, but in having lifetime access to parts of the Capitol where the rest of us aren't allowed to wander around.
